Getting My Happy On...

Have you heard the news?
The Royals are coming to visit Victoria.

Yes indeed, they will be staying at Government House just a quick 15 minute walk from our Humble Bungalow...
It is exciting and I hope that we might catch a glimpse of the young family...
Justin Trudeau will be in town too...the city is all a flutter.

I met up with a long time friend for lunch and we sat outside on the patio at the Inn overlooking beautiful Brentwood Bay.

Being a bit of a rebel I broke the rule about wearing white after Labour Day...
Coincidentally my friend B, who recently returned from Paris, was wearing white pants and a striped top as well!
We had lots of catching up and our Paris trip highlights were shared.


This week I treated myself to a relaxing facial at The Silk Road Spa
its been quite awhile since my last Spa visit and I really enjoyed the pampering.


 I wandered around China Town exploring the wee shops
the sunshine and hot tea were just what I craved...


Hooray It is apple harvest time!
 we have been enjoying a few of our crisp and crunchy apples...
Liberty and Chehalis are both relatively young dwarf trees in The Humble Bungalow Garden.

I unwrapped a Diptyque candle,
our Fall and Winter favourite fragrance
ready to light and enjoy on these cooler evenings.


A good book, a candle...
life's little luxuries.


I wonder if we are in for a cold winter as the rose hips are huge and plentiful...
does anyone make rose hip jelly anymore?


Black and white make up the bulk of my wardrobe...
I never seem to tire of the combination.
Grey also plays a role in my small closet.


I must be off and get some things done around here...

Thank you for stopping by The Humble Bungalow.

If I get close enough to see the Royals I will snap a few pictures and share them with you.
